FUELING COLLABORATION & INNOVATION
GivingTuesday is committed to insights and learning to cultivate movement leadership skills and empowering grassroots organizations and nonprofits to become more innovative, collaborative, and data-focused.
In response to the overwhelming demand placed on campaign leaders and nonprofits, GivingTuesday hosted an expanded series of webinars with 15,000 nonprofit professionals attending GivingTuesday training sessions in 2020. Always ahead of digital trends, GivingTuesday partnered with TikTok to teach organizers how to use the platform to reach and engage new audiences. The GivingTuesday Learning Lab group grew by 52% in just two months. Made up of nearly 10,000 nonprofit professionals and community organizers from around the world, the group shares tools and resources, lifts each other up, and has created a culture of generosity amongst itself. We also introduced a virtual mentorship program within the Learning Lab that paired 117 nonprofit professionals with free support provided by members of the group who volunteered their time.
Knowing that organizations were going to be even more strapped for capacity, we created more resources for them to rally their constituents and encourage giving, including copy and paste social media posts, email templates, rapid activation ideas
and more.
WE’RE LEARNING AND GROWING TOGETHER
On August 4-6, we held our first Virtual Global Summit for GivingTuesday’s country and community leaders. More than 300 leaders from around the world participated in three days of programming that ranged from tactical sessions focused on campaign planning and fundraising to deeper discussions of New Power, movement building, and race and equity.
